Should the Imperial guard scenario in Ligny be 90 minutes instead of 60?

These Prussians aren't push overs. Granted once the French cavalry begins to outflank Ligny the Prussians begin to fall back but it's still very hard to make it to that objective with enough time left to rack up enough points. Heck it takes the guard ten minutes of marching just to make it to Ligny to begin with. That objective is pretty far back behind Ligny. I need 15 more minutes on the clock lol.

I think it's perfect. Gotta start pushing early and then as the coup de grace hit them with Le Guard!

YeA but in this scenario you only control the guard. Gerard's corps is under AI control and dammit, they're in my way lol. It's tough to move through this town, over a creek and through my own troops to get to the enemy. I may try moving the guard around behind Ligny instead of straight at it next time. Gerard's corps is just a mess in front of me.

Ahh, gotcha.

I play the entire battle as I HATE being restricted with AI and troop limitations

Hi,
For me the same, need 10 or 15 minutes more .
Playing in the saddle with camera 20 meters max from me, difficulty normal and courrier at division level.
My better score, trying my best, for the moment was passing by the left of the castle and crossing the river.
The cavalry push back the prussian artillery. Prussians are at my rignt then I let the 'General Petit" guard brigade doing the work with a probe stance, he turn right and start his attack on the prussians squares ( thanks to the horseman of General Jamin).... I only TC of my two battery trying to advance on the objective on alternate move of the battery, always keeping one firing. trying to always have the good range for canister and stay close of the battery's officers in order to make order going as fast as possible.
It's hard.....but very funny and very " immersive " in fact that's what i'm looking for.....

Hi Wagner jr. In the time since I originally made the first post in this thread I have managed achieve a major victory in this scenario(though not playing HITS, god speed on that lol)

Essentially I used the same strategy. I bypassed having to work my way through Gerards corps by moving around the left side of Ligny castle and hitting the Prussian right. From there you just have to attack at an insane level of recklessness. You have to push mercilessly for the objective as fast as you can and charge everything in your path to get there, losses be damned. Fortunately you command the imperial guard, crack troops if ever there were, and they will pretty much charge like maniacs if you order them to. You really have to make it to the objective within the first 20 minutes of the scenario and then camp on it in order to extract enough points from it. Once you get there bring your artillery up and set them up somewhere with a good field of fire. They can really help add to your point totals, because sometimes the objective alone is just not enough.

Hi,
I will try this week end with a berserker stance for General Petit.
Bye
